Default Tail light bulb question

Hi, I shall ask a question that more than likely ask many times before..

In the tail light there are 2 bulbs, the bigger brake light bulb, which I know, then there is a little little bulb that I think only comes on when the headlights are on, being thst I want to change that bulb.to LED, what number bulb am I looking to buy?

Thanks all

This will show you the part number of all the OEM bulbs:

Then, buy the LED equivalent of the bulb of your choice. I like this vendor:

That is called your rear sidemarker bulb, #168. Then check out the sites above ^ for your LED equivalent.

Just do yourself a favor and don't buy some generic LED bulb off e-bay. It's more than likely going to make your car juju go bad.

168=194=T10=2825, etc. The differences will be in brightness and physical size/shape, so sometimes you have to be careful and check the physical fit - bases are all the same, though.
